IPC: C02F1/68
Filed: 2007-02-14
Abstract: A reservoir management system for a water reservoir having inlet and outlet piping and means for adding chemicals in controlled amounts to the water within the reservoir. One or more eductor are positioned within the water reservoir to mix and circulate water within the reservoir. A recirculating pump is located externally to the reservoir and has an inlet line that taps into the outlet piping from the reservoir. One or more sample lines remove test streams of water from the reservoir which are analyzed to determine the level of at least one of chemical in the test stream to provide a chemical-related signal. A controller receives the signal and compares the signal to a set point indicative of the level of chemical desired within the reservoir to maintain, increase, or decrease the amount of chemical added to the water within the reservoir in controlled amounts. A flow meter monitors the rate of flow into the reservoir and retention time of water and generates one or more signals to the controller as the rate of flow varies from a set point.

Abstract: A method and system for managing at least one animal is disclosed. The method can include imaging, such as ultrasound imaging, a lung of a live animal, such as a ruminant animal or bovine animal. The imaging can be performed to determine a degree of respiratory damage from past respiratory illness. After imaging, information regarding respiratory damage can be used to select at least one aspect of the treatment, care or disposition of the animal. For example, the information can be used to select the amount or type of feed provided to the animal at a feedlot. The information also can be used to select how long the animal should be housed at the feedlot prior to slaughter.  If an animal is diagnosed with a respiratory illness, information about its degree of respiratory damage from past respiratory illness also can be used to select the appropriate medical treatment or lack of treatment.

Title: Method and apparatus for conditioning liquid hydrocarbon fuels
Inventor: GAINES GLENN C
IPC: F23D11/44
Filed: 2005-12-08
Abstract: In one embodiment of a method for vaporizing liquids such as fuels, the liquid is sprayed into a chamber such that the spray does not impinge on any surface.  The energy for vaporization is supplied through the injection of a hot diluent such as nitrogen or oxygen depleted air. Additional heat is added through the surface. In another embodiment, the liquid is sprayed onto a hot surface using a geometry such that the entire spray is intercepted by the surface. Heat is added through the surface to maintain an internal surface temperature above the boiling point of the least volatile component of the liquid. The liquid droplets impinging on the surface are thus flash vaporized. A carrier gas may also be flowed through the vaporizer to control the dew point of the resultant vapor phase mixture.

Il est alors possible de personnaliser le design du verre progressif en fonction d'au moins une caractéristique comportementale d'un porteur du verre. Cette personnalisation peut être effectuée en reprise, en modulant des valeurs de la grandeur physique entre des points différents du verre. Des verres progressifs ayant des designs différents peuvent ainsi être obtenus à partir de verres semi-finis identiques. La grandeur physique peut être la sphère et le cylindre de la face postérieure du verre (3).

Title: A plant for producing a fibre web of plastic and cellulose fibres
Inventor: ANDERSEN JENS OLE BROCHNER
IPC: D04H13/00
Filed: 1998-10-12
Abstract: A plant serves as a mean for production of a fibre web of synthetic fibres, such as plastic fibres and absorbent fibres, such as viscose and cellulose fibres. The plant includes a forming head preliminary to lay a homogeneously and smoothly distributed fibre layer on a net shaped wire. Furthermore the plant includes a hydro-entangling section with liquid nozzles with powerful liquid jets to treat the in the forming head formed fibre layer, which consists of both synthetic—and absorbent fibres. The plant also includes an oven subsequently to thermal bond the synthetic fibres with cross bonds in the affected areas. Finally the dried web is winded up in a roller. By the help of the plant according to the invention, by higher production speed than known previously a fibre web can be produced, which is far cheaper, and which has a better and more homogeneous structure than similar conventional fibre webs.
